In a word, Yes! I personally have built 6 so far with 0 issues, 2 early T1's 2 Argy's and 2 T3's. I have a few more to go but as of now they have been 100%
I could also add the one used T1 that I purchased as a running G1 and used for a StG build, also with 0 issues but it was used.
I have not heard of others have problems either. Just my $.02's

Dopavash · December 16, 2011, 10:44

I've built several T3's from Coonan. They went together without issue and shoot great.

larrymo · December 16, 2011, 11:25

Cool. Thank you.

**Lee Carpentieri** · December 17, 2011, 03:35

Ricketts, I'd be in for two Brit cut receivers. Lee.

**WWM** · January 09, 2012, 20:53

Any news/updates, I'm still in if these they ever come to fruition.

**embatp** · January 10, 2012, 13:52

word I heard was after SHOT show....

**GMB74** · January 11, 2012, 05:58

I am interested in two with custom serial numbers. Add me to the list.

**lostmybearing** · January 11, 2012, 11:22

I am interested in 2 !

NewbieDuff · January 11, 2012, 22:22

I have to withdraw my name as I am bearing down on purchasing a ready-assembled FAL.

Of course, if I HAVE to buy one, I won't cry. I figure since the group buy / manf all got pushed back, maybe I can slip out without hurting the herd. Please let me know if I'm still obligated, it's no problem. Otherwise assuming not.

(Man, I don't even own 1 and I am dreaming of a stable of them: one para, one g1, one l1a1, and then a "safe queen" version of each ....)

**WWM** · January 11, 2012, 22:39

No worries if you have to bail, they always figure in a reasonable attrition rate. Get your first one in the safe and the rest seem to come easier.

rtracy111 · January 12, 2012, 01:26

I am in for one!!!! One coversation ended with a great deal. Wanted some more of what he offered. Bummer

. good deal for a great product.

larrymo · January 12, 2012, 11:10

Has anyone talked to Coonan on this subject lately?

dpr64 · January 24, 2012, 18:31

I would like to get in on 1 of them...... When and where info whenever it is available please...

**moses** · January 25, 2012, 03:12

I'd get one!
I'd like to have a totally correct Brit cut but could live with a Coonan type III cut to look like a brit.

If I had a CNC I would be making correct looking Brit cut receivers!!!Or at least attempting to, it ain't as easy as it looks!

I actually have an Imbel receiver that had the serial # and other markings in places that I could modify it to the Brit style and I did and it looks pretty good, not exact but pretty damn good!
Problem is it's just too time consuming to do on manual machines or I would offer the service.

beaver455 · January 25, 2012, 11:30

Greetings to all still interested in the Coonan brit receivers. As this thread was posted late last year and we have heard nothing from Coonan to date should we now try to get some info directly from Coonan,or is someone interested in acting as a liason between us and
the manufacturer?
Please fill free to imput your own comments and views at anytime,all are welcome to interject with their own opinions!
Regards,
beaver455

**fal fiend** · January 25, 2012, 12:28

In for 1 according to looks & cost, ty

**SteelonSteel** · January 25, 2012, 12:50

I was hoping for some info from the Shot show.

Checking coonan's webpage and facebook page only shows the magic of the Coonan .357 pistols. Neat yea, but they're no

Maybe in another month or so. Hopefully.

**genethepoolcleaner** · January 25, 2012, 12:51

I'am still in for 2 GTPC

sgt.stinky · January 28, 2012, 17:21

hmmm, I'd love to get a brit, will this happen?

one hand clapping · January 28, 2012, 18:22

I also would be in for one.

And would like to reserve a Ser# with the SLR 5000 memorial prefix.

**SteelonSteel** · January 29, 2012, 08:39

From facebook, from Coonan to answer my question about updates on the British and Australian receivers.

Tom, we will have an update for you late next week. Several of the Coonan team are taking a much deserved vacation this week after a truly amazing SHOT Show. Thanks for checking us out!

larrymo · January 30, 2012, 15:47

Talked to them today. Coonan got slammed with orders for his pistols at the shot show.
Not planning on any brit cut receivers until the end of the first quarter of this year. As of now.

**karambay** · February 02, 2012, 12:14

Good for them, I'm still patiently waiting, and I'm still in as another Brit kit should be in my hands soon

shortround · February 02, 2012, 12:26

I'd take one.

speedypeat · February 05, 2012, 13:20

definately in for 1. Just getting my US compliance parts together... This is my first FAL (L1A1). I'd really like to do the pristine kit justice with a proper Brit. receiver...

tat2steve · February 19, 2012, 21:14

I'm in for one.

**fal fiend** · March 05, 2012, 11:10

any new news ?

**SteelonSteel** · March 06, 2012, 14:57

Nope, i get FB and email messages from coonan inc once in a while. Lots of stuff on what they're up to but nothing on the L1A1 receivers. I suspect way on the back back burner. They want to make .357 auto pistols apparently that's the hot ticket from the big show.

The receiver went from probably around March to sometime in the future.

Dopavash · March 06, 2012, 15:56

Still waiting on my 3 T1's from them too. I guess I shouldn't gripe, I didn't get my payment in for awhile....

**BlackgunCO** · March 06, 2012, 17:26

Anyone know if they will be doing any G1s? Would like to get one with custom serial #s for my BGS kit. Still waiting for my Argy from them. Think they said April for those. Do they have any standard t3s available? Might do my G1 kit on that since it is a non matching beater.

retfordlad · March 07, 2012, 07:48

Id be intrested in one if the price was right ........
Dunno if I missed it on here but no mention of a price - guess the chaps
at Coonan would let us know when they are ready ........

Just go ahead and call them. Connie will let you know what's up.

**embatp** · March 07, 2012, 20:31

Called Connie today....apparently they had issues getting castings and they also got a rash of orders, so everything right now is going to fill orders/backorders....they are still talking about doing Brit cut stuff and would still like around a 100 orders for them.....

Well that's actually a good sign in my book. They're not trying to make do with the type 3 casting.

Sounds like the comments about the prototypes on the modified T3 really resonated with them. Good sign I say, if they're getting special castings for this.

**embatp** · March 08, 2012, 10:46

as far as I know they will be milled from a T3....

**SteelonSteel** · March 08, 2012, 12:28

ah, I see.

I'd like to see what the projected prototype is going to look like. That one proto at knob didn't really warm the cockles of my heart. Of course they said that was not what they intended to sell.

Trypcil · March 17, 2012, 23:17

An Aussie pour moi!

novalondon · April 08, 2012, 04:29

I didn't make a count thru the pages above but does anyone have a total count from the beginning for these Brit cuts? If we're close I might have need for a few as I have a couple of Brit kits to build for me. I have several Aussie kits ready to part with if anyone needs those and a DSA Aussie cut receiver that would be changed out of a Brit FAL in my safe if these ever came about.
It would be nice to have a Brit FAL in full dress appearance.

BLINDone3 · April 10, 2012, 15:47

Nova,
If these come out we need to talk, I'm in for 4 of them but I'd be interested in that DSA Aussie cut, may have to swap ya!!
Let me know

novalondon · April 10, 2012, 17:00

BLINDone3
Sounds like a winner to me.
